We should be able to designate weather clothes sub-options for different CAS categories

What the - I’ve never had a jogger die outside my house lol?

I’m ngl CAS is long as is, 1 hot or cold outfit is enough for me. I often wish we could add our own styled looks to help shorten the process, or that they’d better organise the hundreds of items.. But anyway, you can add up to 5 looks for each category if I remember correctly? So you could easily add a cold formal look, a cold party look etc..?

As for sims not dressing appropriately, don’t you get your sims to shower in the morning? Or help them get ready with some kind of routine for the day ahead? I think people forget the sims are your responsibility lol if you send them outside in their underwear, in a blizzard and they die, shocker hun - that’s on you? It’s still a game at the end of the day, the sims are purposefully designed to need our help and intervention lol

I'm referring to NPCs @dd994. Yes, the sims in the household I control are fine, but as I stated in my original post, if you actually read it, the situations I'm talking about are sims I DON'T control not dressing for the weather, because they are out jogging or coming to a party. An NPC WILL NOT wear their cold weather clothing while jogging or attending an event, regardless of how cold it is. The situation I very clearly described was that a guest to a party my sim was throwing froze to death walking to the front door because the game told her to dress in her party outfit and not her cold weather outfit.The only way I could make her wear her cold weather outfit was to send my sim out to greet her and ask to "see cold weather" under the social interactions, which my sim wasn't fast enough doing because they live on quite a large lot. I'm fine taking care of the household I'm actively playing, but it's not reasonable to expect me to do the same for the dozens and dozens of NPCs in other households.

In TS2 non controlled sims, by default, are in cold weather gear once the temp drops, usually late fall through early spring. For this to no longer be the case is either laziness or incompetence, and should be addressed regardless of which. One's own sims, when directed to leave the house will stop at the door change, then proceed. The reverse happens when they go back in. How could EA omit such normal and sensible human behavior?

Well, they will change into weather appropriate clothing...unless they're doing something that calls for another kind of outfit, like a party or when they're jogging. So having a party with guests can be a death sentence if there's bad weather, and of course sims decide to jog all the time. The real issue is that we don't have things like "hot weather party" or "cold weather athletic" outfits for those specific situations.

I would also like to be able to pick the outfits for the venues. The only choice we have is restaurants. If they go to a bar, karaoke, or dance club, they can show up in anything. I'd like them to wear party clothes in some places.

That makes sense. It's kind of weird how that isn't naturally a thing already.
